On May 8, 2020, Marc Bernard Rhodes lost his five-month battle with an aggressive and rare form of cancer. Marc was born in New York City (NY), on January 9, 1962, grew up in Evansville (IN) and spent most of his adult years living in Indianapolis (IN).

Marc will forever be remembered as a smart, charming, caring and funny father and friend, who loved his daughters immensely. Beyond his love of family, the things that defined Marc most were his love for and knowledge of music, poker and good food.

Marc's music collection spanned all genres and eras, he was an early adopter of punk and rap, and called The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Wilco and SUSTO among his very favorites. He influenced many with his intellect and passion for music, and attended hundreds of live shows, naming Prince's Purple Rain show in Cincinnati the best concert he'd seen.

His food tastes were just as diverse, having an opportunity to eat at some of the most acclaimed five-star restaurants, like 'e in Las Vegas and Alinea in Chicago. He enjoyed sushi, a good steak and barbeque, but also sought out Skyliners regularly, and was an excellent home chef too.

He was an avid and successful poker player, participating in local friendly games, but also played competitively, once elevating to the World Series of Poker main event as well as other big money and championship bracelet events in Las Vegas.

Marc was a 1980 graduate of William Henry Harrison High School in Evansville, and a student of University of Evansville and Indiana University. He carved a successful professional path working in the print industry, most recently as an Implementation Specialist for Avanti Systems. He made many good friends through his work over the years for Shepard Poorman, Kodak, BKD and Conveo.

Marc was the best brother in law a person could ask for, married to my sister, Liz, for 32 years, Marc always made me laugh. He could tell a good story and you would hang on to every word. Marc was always loving, caring and genuinely interested in listening to people. I will miss him more than I can express in words. My love to his parents, siblings, my nieces Abbey and Audrey and to my sister. Know always, Marc loved you all, you were his world.
